High GPA Scholarship

In an effort to reward students who are academically successful and living in the
residence halls at Montana State University-Billings, we have developed the Academic
Rewards Program as a part of our Academic Support Program.

Qualifications

You must be currently enrolled as a full time student

12 or more credits for undergraduate students

9 or more credits for graduate students

You must have lived in the residence halls at Montana State University Billings for
at least one semester within the past two years prior to the semester you will receive
the incentive.

You must have maintained a 3.75 MSUB Institution cumulative GPA.

Rewards

You are eligible to receive a single room for the price of a double room for the upcoming
semester, if one is available. (For example, if you have a 3.75 cumulative GPA at
the end of Spring Semester, you will receive the room discount for Fall).

OR

If you are in a double room, you can receive $150.00 on your U-Card general account
to use toward book purchases. (For example, if you have a 3.75 cumulative GPA at the
end of Spring semester, you will receive the $150.00 on your U-Card at the beginning
of Fall semester.)

Requirements

Students who move out of the residence halls during the semester, will receive a room
refund based on the double room rate.

Students who receive the $150.00 on their U-card must live on campus throughout the
entire semester. If a student decides to move out prior to the end of the semester,
he/she will be required to forfeit a prorated portion of the $150.00. If a student
has already spent the entire $150.00 on his/her U-card, he/she will be charged on
his/her account for the portion of this $150.00 that he/she is no longer eligible
to receive.

Students who are housing staff members receiving room and/or board compensation are
eligible for the $150 U-Card award only.

This program is not available during the summer sessions and applies only to fall
and spring semesters.

The incentive money is listed as a "scholarship" on your account and is reported to
financial aid as a scholarship. This will be considered as an additional resource
when figuring your financial aid.
